Heh! If anyone out there in list-land has the financial backing,
contacts,
knowledge and experience to turn FT into a mainstream computer game,
then
talk to me! (Note that I mean something that will sell in computer game
stores - not just a computer-moderation program for the existing
wargamers....)
We have been approcahed about this a couple of times over the last few
years, but not by anyone truly able/willing to put their pounds/dollars
where their mouths are. One small UK software developer wanted to try it
a
few years back, but went down the pan (through other projects, I
believe)
before it could happen, and a person in the US was inquiring about it
earlier this year, but wouldn't tell us anything about what he'd worked
on
before, or who he'd worked with - somehow I just wasn't happy with the
whole thing, and it went no further .....

Give us a proposal that has a) a decent chance of making it as far as
the
stores, and b) stands to make us both some money, and we'll talk!

Just a little something for you computer types to chew on over the
weekend..... :-)
